- Mongolia
- Turkmenistan
How they compare
Mongolia currently reports 1.7 kg CO2e per constant 2015 US$ of GDP against 1.32 kg CO2e per constant 2015 US$ of GDP in Turkmenistan, a difference of 0.38 kg CO2e per constant 2015 US$ of GDP.
That makes Mongolia's figure about 1.3 times Turkmenistan's.
The two have swapped places 7 times across 38 shared years of data; in 1987 it was Turkmenistan ahead.
Mongolia ranks 4th and Turkmenistan ranks 7th of 199 countries.
Across the 5 decades both report, Mongolia averaged higher in 1 and Turkmenistan in 4.
